Re: Axalp Angles
No shockers that I can see
#24 is lovely. As for #32, is it really safe to park your helicopter there...

Re: Axalp Angles
Lovely set Rich, even with the nose cut off.. loving those shock waves, 2 and 18 really nice but there are plenty of outstanding shots. Thanks again for being part of the epic trip. Pizza anyone?
Re: Axalp Angles
27 the pick of the bunch for me, just one shot like that was worth all that effort in getting up there
Great set of a great trip

Re: Axalp Angles
Wonderful set and the 3 different viewpoints helped hugely for the variety.
Enjoyed all of them but 57 and 64 particularly stand out for me-Magnificent

Re: Axalp Angles
Stunners! Every single one.
I wish mine were half as good, only doing the Wednesday up top and not having any practice sessions didn't help

Re: Axalp Angles
Yet another terrific set of AXALP photos by Dr. Cake - I can now see why you made the effort to ascend to such a high altitude - it has enabled you to take a great set of photos, looking down on so many of the aircraft.
Re: Axalp Angles
Excellent stuff as always...
Posting comments on an aviation-related chatroom, are ya? Looks like it an' all...

Yes, numbers 6 and 64 are the 'shockers'.
